Equipment
What is a T11 tank container?
T11 is one of the United Nations portable tank instructions; it sets the tank's minimum test pressure, shell thickness and fittings.
With its stainless steel shell and standard ISO frame, a T11 tank moves between ship, rail and truck without the cargo being transferred. It is one of the most widely used tank types, serving a broad range of cargo from chemicals to food-grade liquids.

Why tank containers
A closed, clean and intermodal solution for bulk liquids
- 01
Less handling

- 02
Closed system
The cargo stays in a sealed tank for the whole journey, reducing the risk of loss and contamination.
- 03
Intermodal without transfer
The same tank moves from ship to rail to truck without transferring the cargo.
- 04
Reusable
Long-life, reusable equipment instead of single-use packaging waste.
Frequently asked questions
What can be carried in a T11 tank?
T11 tanks are used for many chemicals, petroleum products and food-grade liquids whose properties suit this tank class. We assess your cargo's suitability together from the product information and safety data sheet (SDS).
How full can a tank be filled?
To prevent the liquid from surging in transit, tanks are generally filled to roughly 80–95% of their capacity. The exact level depends on the product and the expected temperature change.
Do you offer door-to-door transport?
Yes. We combine the sea leg with block train, single wagon and road connections to carry your cargo from the origin address to the destination address.
Can customs, insurance and storage be included?
Yes. We can offer customs clearance, cargo insurance and warehousing together with tank transport in a single quote.
